The Index of Multiple Deprivation ranks every small area in country from 1 (most deprived area) to 32,844 (least deprived area). The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) combines information from the seven domains to produce an overall relative measure of deprivation. The domains are combined using the following weights:
Income Deprivation (22.5%)
Employment Deprivation (22.5%)
Education, Skills and Training Deprivation (13.5%)
Health Deprivation and Disability (13.5%)
Crime (9.3%)
Barriers to Housing and Services (9.3%)
Living Environment Deprivation (9.3%)
Results are analysed according to the index of Multiple deprivation.
There is a geographic variability within area analysed in the attendance for diabetic eye screening.
